Final weekend of the year without PGA Tour golf until next December. This week I’ll be enjoying (like all my Goodboys cohorts) watching primetime golf in beautiful Hawaii. Always nice.

…and Hawaii will certainly look nicer than it’s expected to be around here. Today it is sunny and 70, starting tomorrow through next weekend we’ll see a series of El Nino storms expected to bring between 1 – 2 inches of rain here to the Valley. Too bad for the snowbirds looking to play golf in the “Valley of the Sun”, but around here we all know that if you can get any chance for rain you take it!

You somehow knew before the end of his final term the Obama administration would be getting around to trying every way possible to reduce the number of guns in America, and he’s about to go full throttle. You can expect Democratic state legislatures to start heavily taxing guns and ammunition to make it gun ownership less attractive and affordable, but that will only have the effect of increasing the underground movement of guns from “cheap states” to expensive states”. Glad I live in Arizona!

…and with this you see the final leg of liberalism come into play. There’s abortion, increased taxes, and gun control. They’d like to add climate change as well, but they know the vast majority of Americans know it’s bullshit. They can’t make abortion more readily available than it already is. They can’t increase taxes with a Republican-led congress, and “blue states” are running out of things to tax even more than they already are, so gun control is the only avenue left to rally the troops.

Hope everyone has been enjoying their holiday season. Even at work you can tell people are holding out until the very last minute before everything goes full throttle in 2016. I think that’s a good thing – they’ll be plenty of time for work starting tomorrow!
